It's alarming to see how easily this article about Liz Truss's fanatical and destructive obsession with GDP growth could be repurposed to describe the position now taken by Reeves and Starmer.

40 years of neoliberalism has left Canada susceptible to Donald Trump’s economic aggression.

Voting every few years isn’t enough. A democracy requires that people get involved and take action to protect themselves and the land. When people are passive about their rights and leave the decisions to so-called leaders it opens the doors to corruption
